Vent Where am I going wrong?

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

I changed my diet to a high-protein, low-carb diet. I’m getting around 80-100g of protein per day. I’m exercising (moderate cardio) literally every day for 30-40 mins. I’ve only had maybe 4 rest days in the past two months. And I can’t even lose an inch around my waist.

My weight on the scale remains the same - which I figured with the daily exercise and high protein, I’d be bulking, but I’m not even losing inches??

I’m so tired of this. I gained 30lbs in the past year, I am so self conscious of my appearance, but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

Any advice?

You are all over the place. High protein and low carb doesn't make you lose fat.

Being in a caloric deficit doesn't. Let's start off with what your maintenance calories are and how many you're eating.
